You're f**king off Rogers completely?

Although he may be 'up' for a big one against the Dragons, but that can also mean he'll dish up some awful crap.

Yes, I am. He can give us some touches of class (for example, last week), but as a general rule, I think Dureau/Mullen are our best halves combination. And besides, Rogers was injured, so I'm giving him a week off to "rest" :sarcasm:

 

[Spike]

I actually give us a chance against the Dragons. The Dragons have a few injuries and I reckon Weyman will get suspended.

According to the article Pumba posted, Simmo won't be back until the round after. I also think we need to pick a halves combo and stick with it barring injury.

 

[roopy]

I'm thinking we will have a gameplan to beat a Bennet coached side - not sure what it will be, but only two halves i think, and a lot of good defenders.

 

[otori]

The Dragons have insane defence this year so I'd much rather Rogers than Dureau for this game based solely on the fact that we'll need someone that can produce something from nothing against all odds. Rogers is way more unpredictable whereas Bennet would find it much easier to predict and plan for the style of play Dureau would bring.

Smith does have a great record against Bennett head to head I believe.

 

[Pika]

Simmo not ready.

[roopy]

I'd be tempted to sit out Uate one more week.
Bennett will have a plan to attack Uate, and it might be abopted by every coach in the NRL if it works.

 

[Joker's Wild]

I tend to agree with leaving Uate out for this. He plays on the same side as Sailor and I think he will be too big a task for Aku in defence.

Spaeaking of Sailor, what are the chances of slipping Maddog onto the left wing to mark up on Big Dell? Would be awesome to see those two go at it again

[God-King Dean]

You guys should drop Gidley.

 

[Jobdog]

We'll do that if you drop your whole side :sarcasm:

 

[mozza91]

You guys should drop Gidley.

If you drop Creagh first :lol:

 

[Jono078]

Simpson not ready? I thought initial thoughts were 2-3 weeks, this will be 4 weeks now.

Age really has caught up with him
